After a design is transferred onto fondant with pinholes, you can tahe perforations in the fondant act as a guide for piping or painting. This method may also be used on hardened buttercream.
In this video, Renata Papadopoulos demonstrates how she has adapted the pinprick method to transfer designs without poking any tiny holes in the fondant!
